Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who advised Bush on the Iraq war, said military victory is no longer possible and joined calls for the U.S. government to seek help from Iraq’s regional neighbors— including Iran.
“If you mean, by ‘military victory,’ an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don’t believe that is possible,” he said on the BBC’s Sunday AM program.

Kissinger should know if a war can be won or not. Look at Viet Nam. Lets use that for the classic Republican cut and run example. Bush read a history book you blame the democrats for for cut and run imply they are in bed with the enemy because they don't agree with you. You imply that they are cowardly traitors.
All this you have implied when the last republican to handle a war well was Lincoln.

Yep, and hopelessly ignorant about neutorn bombs, among a list of other things (like political affiliations).
He's into labeling and name calling, which belies his claim to not be a republivan.

I'm not racist, I just wish to eradicate the enemies of the U.S., just like we almost did to the Japanese or Germans. If they didn't surrender, oh well... BUH BYE. Just like we don't see any Carthaginians walking around today...hmmm.
And I'd go if they gave me a B-52 with neutron bombs. Why should I go with 1 arm tied behind my back?

We should also lock up our children until they are 21. That'll stop teenage pregnancy right there!

The word is reactionary and what you have is an acute case of it, tempered by absolutely no reason or knowledge.
As to your "desire" to wipe out our enemies, might as well soak the world in a 50/50 mixture of clordane and DDT, since fleas bite. Then we can watch life on earth disappear when "other" bugs that are helpful and needed have been wiped out and are not there to serve their part of ecosystem.
As to your eagerness to set off a neutron bomb, maybe you better do a bit of research and find out if there ever has been such a reaction.
Knowledge is a powerful tool.

Sniping? I don't advocate the killing of Americans, however, I do believe religion of any kind should be outlawed by US Government in all public signs, displays, mottos, etc.

Ah...so there are *qualifications* that must be met to be defined as nonsense. The first one being..."does not apply to Americans"?
LOL Repo. Can't have your cake and eat it too bud. Either nonsense is applicable to all and should be dealt with by "any means" as you are advocating or nonsense isn't applicable to all and you label yourself a classist and racially prejudiced.
Your choice.
